Can the Labs Sample App be built using this feed? Last time I tried there were build errors using the special feed. |

We have to update Labs to use the latest NuGet drop still, is that what you mean? |

2-3 weeks ago I downloaded the latest Labs Sample App code, tried to point it to the labs feed since it was referencing those packages, but still ran into a pile of build errors. |

Once we ship this release, we'll get back to ensuring Labs is back up-to-date and in-sync. |

Upgrading to anything past Don't know why Uno is being referenced in my WinUI projects. Edit: Also see this in build output for a WinUI controls lib that references the toolkit: And after lots of trying I still can't build with many of these errors: |

@Mysterious-Dev there's not a 1:1 mapping between packages from 7.x to 8.0, probably should call that out more clearly in our release blog or docs. 8.0 is more finely grained so things like |

I really wish to have ImageEx ported, my project heavily depending on the LazyLoading and init Animation the control bring in. |

@Lightczx feel free to open an issue to track and garner support or help work with us to bring it over from the old repository. It just wasn't high enough on our priority list of top-used components to make the cut for our initial work. There's been a lot added to the Toolkit over the years! It's also an older component in the Toolkit and could be due for some possible re-architecturing. We've had folks try to use it in mass galleries which wasn't its original intent and other folks which want custom caching strategies, etc... |

I would recommend that the Primitives package get a more descriptive NuGet Readme.
Finding where DockPanel lived was a case of: "well... it isn't any of these other things, so I guess I'll check the Primitives source code to figure out what's in it". |

Yeah, I realized we just had generic descriptions when I first pushed to NuGet. I opened #185 so we can add more here for each package. |

Hope BladeView and Markdown control will be included in CommunityToolkit.WinUI.X 8.0 |

BladeView is pretty far down on the list of widely used controls. It's a fairly uncommon pattern. So, it'd be something to open a separate discussion about, especially as it'd need a visual refresh as well. (Similar to this comment). For Markdown, it's not included in the 8.0 release, it's a very old component which was using a custom Markdown parser. The good news is that some folks have been working on a replacement in Windows Community Toolkit Labs that uses Markdig! It just needs a bit more work to fix some issue with the CI once we get the Labs-Windows repo back up-to-date with our latest tooling changes. Our focus the last few weeks has been on this release, so we'll get back to Labs-Windows more after and try and get that one moving along again. |

Thanks for quick response. BladeViewer is very useful if someone wants to create multiple panels just like Edge, so it's not a uncommon pattern and should be reconsidered. |

Today, we're happy to ship a pre-release version of the Windows Community Toolkit, version 8.0.230823-rc. 🎉🎉🎉
You can find out more about this release and how to use it on our blog post. (Link in a few minutes)
You can find these packages of the new version of the Toolkit on NuGet.org for the very first time! Just be sure to check "Include Prerelease" next to the NuGet Package Manager search box. The available packages are:
Animations - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
Behaviors ✨ - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK ✨
Collections - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
Controls - All the following packages are under the
CommunityToolkit.WinUI.Controlsnamespace:Converters - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
DeveloperTools - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
Extensions - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
Helpers - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
Lottie 💻 - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
Media 💻 - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
Triggers - WinUI 2/UWP - WinUI 3/WindowsAppSDK
'✨' denotes new or updated packages/features from version 7.1.
'🎨' denotes updated XAML styling from version 7.1.
'💻' denotes packages which only target UWP/WindowsAppSDK. However, its absence does not imply that every feature will work across all platforms (see note in introduction).
🔥🐉 Note: Mixing and matching these new 8.0 packages with existing Windows Community Toolkit 7.x packages, especially UI controls, can lead to issues with the namespace changes and dependencies on common code (like the Visual Tree extensions). If there's something that we haven't yet ported but you need, open a discussion to let us know or claim it and contribute!
Please use this discussion for any feedback or issues you encounter with this release.
We'll be working to update our docs, website, and sample app over the coming week or so before a final release.
